Cardiovascular disease is widespread in our patient population, and being able to interpret EKGs quickly and accurately are essential skills for providers. This workshop is designed to update attendees on cardiovascular disease through interpretation of the 12 lead EKG. We will learn a systematic approach to reading EKGs and discuss diseases identified through EKGs. Attendees will be challenged to use information presented during the course to identify disease in case study format. Light dinner will be provided. Course materials will be available online prior to the event.

The Continuing Medical Education Committee has started our planning for the 18th Annual Conference of the Physician Assistants in Orthopaedic Surgery (PAOS). As the Chairman, I’m excited to bring the conference to my hometown of Baltimore! We have signed the contract with the Hilton – Baltimore and will be holding the conference from August 21st – 25th, 2017. The Hilton-Baltimore overlooks Camden Yards and is nestled in the middle of Inner Harbor. It’s in walking distance to all that Baltimore has to offer, to include the National Aquarium, Fort McHenry, Horseshoe Casino, Power Plant, Little Italy, and all the Sports Complexes. We are planning social events that will show you all that the town has to offer!

Baltimore is a city rich with culture, history, athletics, and has continually been an epicenter of research and development for medicine and Orthopaedics. Our committee is working diligently recruiting quality speakers from well known institutions such as Johns Hopkins, Baltimore Shock Trauma, and other orthopaedic groups supporting the professional and college athletic programs. We anticipate the same high-quality speaker lineup that we saw last year in Scottsdale, Arizona.

With our conference’s proven reputation and quality education, we hope you will join us for what is expected to be another memorable event. I look forward to showing you my hometown and providing you another educational and entertaining CME Conference. We’ll see you in Baltimore!!!

America’s more than 108,500 certified PAs are a powerful force for better
health for millions of patients across the country. Consistently recognized as
one of the fastest-growing professions, PAs were ranked the most promising
job of 2015 by Forbes.com. Because of PAs, the healthcare system is
stronger. Because of PAs, more patients get access to high-quality, costeffective
care. Because of PAs, we celebrate National PA Week!

The Delaware Academy of PAs (DAPA) wants to celebrate our
profession by inviting all PAs and their physician colleagues to
a reception on Thursday, October 12. We will have light snacks,
beer, and wine. It’s the perfect way to start out PA week 2017!

Join DAPA in celebrating all that we do for our patients and community. You
can meet the board and other members, catch up with colleagues, and most
importantly celebrate the PA profession! We will also be available to address
and discuss the recent legislative issues DE PA’s are facing and our current
plans for legislation modification.
DAPA wants to say THANK YOU DELAWARE PAs for going the extra
mile with your patients and advancing our profession.
